Did you know that the Red Panda use their ringed tails as wraparound blankets in the chilly mountain heights?

Out team is connecting through Zoom.  Having a chance to see each other, catch up on life and then get down to business keeps me focused on moving forward.  There is still a future and though it may look different, we can make plans and look forward to events and continuing our work.

I think given everything that is going on, we've been more mindful of not wasting food anyways, as I severely cut down on my trips to the market.  This also causes us not to have as easy access to fresh vegetables and fruit, so we are going to start growing our own, and will use the compost for that!  

Different transportation options definitely have varying levels of community engagement. I find that when I go on more walks vs driving, I see more neighbors, catch up with friends, have more time to engage in conversation whether on the phone or in person. While walking, I have more time to take in my surroundings and become more familiar with my community than if I were to pass by quickly in a car. Taking a walk or bike ride in my opinion (depending on the length of travel) can always be more fun, especially while conversing with friends and catching up!
